Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 9, 2017 - {screwcap, 11%} Barely darker than mid-straw-yellow. Soft, developing nose of hay, brown grass. And gentle cedary-like (but misleading!) note reminiscent of oak. The palate still has a gentle line of spritzy acid carrying it along, but it's nicely balanced and not harsh or crude. The flavours are gentle and aging, lemon-citrus-tinged, and if anything a little fresher than the nose promised. It's not much heavier than light-bodied, but coats the tongue evenly, and the medium/long finish is fairly beguiling even if it lacks the last touch of magic. Excellent Hunter semillon drinking beautifully now and over another 5 years at least.
